The return of the trench coat

Hello beautiful people!

Are you having a good day so far? Personally, I should be working on my dissertation right now but what am I doing instead? Writing a post. And what will I do after finishing this post? Most chances are I will read another blog/ magazine/ book, clean my room or cook...anything that will prevent me from writing my dissertation. I don't know about you, but during spring I find it most difficult to concentrate when I have uni work. During winter it's easier to write my essays or study because it's cold outside and it gets dark at 5 pm. But during spring, how exactly am I supposed to concentrate with all the sun, the beautiful weather and flowers outside? But alas, I have to make one final effort in my student life...my dissertation. Therefore, I solemnly promise that after writing this post, I will start writing...even if it's only one page! (one has to start somewhere)

Hence, let's get  down to business. Yesterday I had another conference to attend and I had to dress up a little. I've almost forgotten how much I loved this Zara trench coat. For me, it represents perfection: ideal length, made of cotton and in a neutral shade. Best trench coat ever and also a good investment. In terms of shoes, I opted for the millionth time for my beloved Zara tan boots. I know you've seen them in almost every outfit this past winter and I don't blame you for thinking this is the only pair of boots I own. But every time I select an outfit I like, I tend to pair it with these boots. I do have other boots in other colours, but this are my current favourites and when I like a certain item I tend to wear it constantly (I guess this is a common feature among women). Anyway, this was  probably one of their last outings since it's getting hotter and hotter outside and I will finally be able to wear pumps or ballet flats!





The ruffled blouse I'm wearing it's from Dorothy Perkins and it's one of my favourites. I think it looks somewhat Victorian thanks to its collar and the gorgeous embroidery it has on the sleeves, but I love it. I always feel so elegant when I'm wearing it. It also has a very soft material which gives it even a more luxurious appearance.

Lastly, I've chosen  this River Island satchel I bought one year ago which I believe gave this particular outfit a business twist. I felt like I was leading the company, not working for it :))








 Oh, but look at me talking as if I were an expert in fashion. Well, I'm not  and I don't even claim to be one. I just like to ramble (a lot) about it and share my visions and opinions :D

Well, that's it from me today. I wish you a wonderful rest of the week! (and go outside and enjoy the sun and the warm weather!!!...I will be inside....writing on my dissertation. So much fun!)

Take care x

Perfect late autumn day

Hello cupcakes!

Yesterday was my name day anniversary and I had a wonderful time with my boyfriend and my beautiful family! I was so lucky because yesterday was a gorgeous sunny autumn day and I had the chance to go for a walk in one of my favourite parks (I wanted to go since ages but I've been mega busy with work, I even had to go on Saturday because we had an emergency); so yesterday was somewhat of a bonus :) The park looked great with all the trees "dressed" in gorgeous colours and with the sun peeking from between the leaves. Afterwords, we went for some drinks in a lovely pub and in the evening we had a great home-cooked dinner with my family.

Moreover, I received some gorgeous flowers (my house is again full of flowers :X) and some beautiful presents, among which some Sephora goodies, a great pair of leather gloves and a lovely knitted jumper (you'll be seeing them featured on my blog in future posts)! I was so spoilt and had an amazing time! So thank you to all the people who made this day so special!

Also, here are a few pics from yesterday.







 (I have no idea what I was trying to do in this pic)




Aren't the trees just gorgeous? Even though I'm a summer person I must admit that sunny autumn days are simply amazing :)

Talk to you soon

Lots of kisses

Flower Power

Hello girls!

I can't believe it's finally weekend! I had such a busy week at work and at uni and I'm so happy that it's all over...for now. I can't wait to relaaaax!

Today, after classes, my boy came to pick me up and he had a little surprise for me: a gorgeous flower bouquet! He knows that I absolutely adore flowers and how happy it makes me to receive a flower bouquet, especially when there is no special occasion...for example just because it's Friday :) I previously told him how much I loved the combination between yellow and purple and surprisingly he remembered it and bought me some gorgeous autumn flowers in the above mentioned colours.

Also, a few days ago, while going to work I saw a woman selling some beautiful autumn flowers and I couldn't help myself and bought four bouquets :)) I don't know about you but flowers put an instant smile on my face and they brighten up my day anytime! I love having flowers in my room or in the house all the time.

So, first of all here are the pics from this evening. I've been wearing this trench coat like crazy for the past two weeks because I simply love it! It's such a classic piece! Also, I can't believe how huge my bag look in the pics...I know it is big because it has to carry all my stuff from work plus uni, but I don't see it as being THAT big :))



Trench coat - Zara
Scarf - H&M
Black leather bag - Peek and Cloppenburg
Ballet flats - Hogl

Second of all, here are a few pics with my lovely flowers. They cheer me up every morning when I wake up :)





Aren't they gorgeous? I basically don't have any more vases left without flowers...but I'm so not complaining :)


Have a great weekend!

New trench coat!

Hello girls!


I don't know about you guys, but autumn seems to be the season when I shop the most. And this is a funny thing considering that I absolutely dislike cold weather. But in terms of clothing I think that autumn and winter offer us a great variety of pieces of clothing, from coats and jumpers to dresses, scarves and boots. Also with such a great number of pieces of clothing the combinations for different outfits are endless. See, cold weather has it's bright side :)

Until now I didn't buy so many stuff for the cold season, partly because the weather has been very hot for this period and partly because I'm trying to limit my shopping to basic or classic pieces of clothing that will not go out of trend after a season or two. I confess that this resolution of mine doesn't always work but at least I'm really willing to stick to it (most of the time)!  

Anyway,  on Friday I went shopping because I was searching for a shorter trench coat and luckily for me I managed to find it at Zara. The quality is great and I think it's a good value for the money I paid.



It's such a classic piece and I love love love it! And it has the perfect length for my high :) Success! Also it is perfect for this horrible cold and rainy weather.


Until next time,
lots of kisses!
